There is a report on Twitter that Michigan has contacted JJ Frakes ? Have we offered ? Will we offer ? The highlight video of this prospect is really impressive. Great athlete with a quality jumpshot.
It sucks that there is so little coverage of U-M basketball recruiting.
He doesn’t even have a recruiting profile and I don’t believe he has any high major offers (not even sure if he has any D1 offers). Guessing he would be a preferred walk-on if they are talking to him. Usually you don’t get much coverage anywhere about players like that.
If they did a remake of Dazed and Confused, he could be the new Randall “Pink” Floyd.
There is literally a whole page of recruits being discusses that UM has recruited in one way or another.
I found the tweet you saw. Looks like a large preliminary list. Michigan likely just had a convo with him, doubt there’s anything serious there
It’s hard to cover a kid who doesn’t have a ton of mutual interest with Michigan.
But he’s headed to Oregon.

Will be interesting to see how he works out at Oregon – only offer = quick commit.
So, that competition stinks but his highlight reels are kind of crazy? Is he just wild? He looked like a really good shooter who was surprisingly quick and bouncy.
Kind of surprising but that was pretty nuts on both videos I saw
Requires a sub.
Dang. From a poster on the Michigan Insider:
“Had him (Refereeing) at GVSU over the summer at the Michigan Coaches showcase college camp. Dad’s an assistant on varsity and very engaged… If you’re catching my drift. Kid on the other hand was a great teammate like anyone could get caught up in the moment with the other team. Great athleticism with lots of room to grow and kid ain’t afraid to stick his nose in there.”
This is a fascinating story IMO. Guys film oozes game but he was hardly recruited. I will plan to catch him this season.
His video says he is a Power 5 prospect. Quality player. Oregon might of been the first offer but they wouldn’t of been the last. Good for Frakes
Is he just an un-actualized Brennan Rigsby?
I want to see @DMB43 holding up an “All Gas, No Frakes” sign next year, after Michigan blows the Ducks out at home.
